Important Safety lnstructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place
a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit
off before removing the pan.
• Use Proper Pan Size--This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating
element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the heating element to direct contact and may result in
ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to element
will also improve efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Elements--To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of the utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does net
extend over adjacent surface units.
• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat
Settings--Believers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements--
Heating elements should never be immersed in water.
Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils--Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's
recommendations for cook top use.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan
OFt,
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if
equipped)--Stand to the side of the range when opening the
door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed, The oven vent is
located under the left rear surface element if your model is
equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below
the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook
tops. Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is
operating may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic
or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items
could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use potholders and
grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact the hot heating elements in the oven.
Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert, The broiler pan
and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed
fat and grease could ignite.
• Protective Liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this
manual, improper installation of these liners may result in risk
of electric shock, or fire.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this
Use & Care Manual. Before self cleaning the oven, remove
the broiler pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.
• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners--No commercial oven cleaner or
oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
• Do Not Clean Door Gasket--The door gasket is essential for
a good seal. Care should be taken net to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
•The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes
given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move
birds to another well-ventilated room.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area
underneath each surface element. Do not allow grease to
accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols--Always follow the
manufacturer's recommended directions for use. Be aware
that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite
causing damage and injury.
• Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently--Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow
manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
FOR CERAMIC-GLASS COOKTOP MODELS
• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook Top--if cook top should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken
cook top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
• Clean Cook Top with Caution--If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a
steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.

NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop
cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and Before You
Call checklist sections of this Use and Care Manual.
NOTE: Radiant elements have a limiter that allows the element to
cycle on and off, even at the HI setting. This helps to prevent
damage to the ceramic smooth top. Cycling at the HI setting is
normal and can occur if the cookware is too small for the radiant
element or ifthe cookware bottom is not flat (Refer to page 11 for
using correct cookware instructions with the cooktop).
elements in use and the settings, are all factors
that will affect the amount of heat that will
spread to areas beyond the surface elements.
The areas surrounding the elements may
become hot enough to cause burns.
About the Radiant Surface Elements
The element temperature rises gradually and
evenly. As the temperature rises, the element
will glow red. To maintain the selected setting,
the element will cycle on and off. The heating
element retains enough heat to provide a
uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle.
For efficient cooking, turn off the element
several minutes before cooking is complete.
This will allow residual heat to complete the
cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface
Elements and Controls
Your range is equipped with radiant surface
burners with 6 different wattage ratings. The
ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes
increases as the element wattage increases.
The radiant surface elements are located on the
cooktop as follows (See Figure 2); a smaller 6
inch radiant element located at the right rear
position; a dual 6 or 9 inch radiant element
located at the right front position; a Warmer
Zone radiant element at the center rear position
(See page 12); and 2 (two) 8 inch radiant
elements located at both the left front and rear
positions. Located between left front and rear
elements is a Bridge radiant element.
The BRIDGE radiant element is controlled using
the same knob that controls the left front radiant
element position. See pages 10 and 11 for more
information about using BRIDGE radiant
element.
The Electronic Surface Element Control (ESEC)
The Electronic Surface Element Control ("ESEC") feature
includes 4 digital display windows. The ESEC feature provides
a numeric digital setting for 4 of the radiant surface element
positions on the cooktop, including shared settings at the left
front knob control position for both the left front radiant
element and the "Bridge" radiant element. Also the right front
control knob position shares settings for the dual radiant
element. These settings work the same way as normal knob
setting indicators work except the settings are displayed in
digital windows (Figures 1thru 4).
The available ESEC Display Settings
The ESEC control provides various heat levels from Hi (Fig. 2)
to Lo (Fig. 4) and OFF (Fig. 1). The settings from Hi to 3.0
decrease in increments of .5. The settings from 3.0 to Lo
(Simmer settings) decrease in increments of .2 for more
precise settings of lower heat levels.
O h OFF h_
Figure 1 Figure 2
Use the chart (Fig. 5) to determine the correct setting for the
kind of food you are preparing. The Simmer settings are used
to simmer and keep larger quantities of foods warm such as
stews and soups. The lower Simmer settings are ideal for
delicate foods and melting chocolate or butter.
Note: The size and type of cookware used will influence the
setting needed for best cooking results.
Irl_'=!_l'_"_ Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or
ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if
placed too close to the surface elements.

Setting Surface Controls
ESEC Hot Element Indicator Message (HE)
After using any of the single, dual or Bridge radiant element positions the cooktop will
become very hot. Even after turning the control knob to OFF, the cooktop will remain hot for
some time. The ESEC control monitors the temperature of the cooktop and displays the
message "HE" (hot element) warning when the cooktop is still too hot to touch (See Fig. 1). If
the HE message appears in the window, the control can still be turned on again for use.
ESEC Error Indicator Message (Er)
An error message will be displayed (flashing "Er") at power up (or after a power failure) if ANY
of the surface control knobs were left in the ON positions. If a power failure should occur, be
sure to set all of the 4 surface control knobs to the OFF position (See Fig. 2). This will reset
the surface controls.
Be sure to reset the clock (See page 16). Once the surface controls have been set to the
OFF positions and the clock has been set with the correct time of day, the surface controls
should return to normal operation. If the surface controls do not function and the "Er"
message remains in any display after following these procedures, contact an authorized
servicer for assistance.
Figure 1
ESEC Lockout Feature ( - - )
The self-clean feature will not operate whenever a radiant surface element is ON. Conversely
the ESEC feature will not operate during a self-clean cycle or when the Oven Lockout feature
is active. Whenever the ESEC Lockout feature is active, "- -" may appear in any display
window (See Fig. 3). If any of the surface elements are still hot during active Lockout, "HE"
will appear in the window instead of the "- -" message.

Figure 2
The Single Radiant Surface Elements
The cooktop has single radiant surface elements at 2 locations; the right rear (Fig. 5) and left
rear (Fig. 6) element positions. The BRIDGE element position can also be used as a single
element (See Bridge Element Operating Instructions on pages 10-11).
To Operate the Single Surface Elements:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the radiant surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction
to the desired setting using the ESEC digital display
window for the desired setting (Fig. 4). Turn (do not push)
the knob to adjust the setting if desired. Start most
cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a
lower setting to finish cooking. Each surface element
provides a constant amount of heat at each setting. A

The Bridge Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop isequipped with a "BRIDGE" surface
element located at the left front and middle (See Fig. 10)
positions. The Bridge can be used when cooking with
rectangular (like a griddle) or oval shaped cookware (Fig.
10). The element will maintain an even temperature
setting across both portions of the Bridge. If needed for
normal cookware, the Bridge element can work like a
single element without the Bridge (See Fig. 8).
Bridge element operation symbols are located on the
control panel on each side of the Bridge element control
knob. These symbols indicate the direction to turn the
control knob when operating the Bridge element. The
symbol in Figure 7 indicates that only the single portion
of the Bridge element will heat (See Fig. 8). The symbol
in Figure 9 indicates that both the single and Bridge
portions of the element will heat together (Fig. 10). You
may switch from either of these settings at any time
during cooking with the Bridge element.
The Dual Surface Radiant Element
The cooktop is equipped with a dual radiant surface element
located at the right front (See Fig. 4) position. Symbols on the
control panel are used to indicate which coil of the dual radiant
element will heat. The symbol shown in Figure 1 indicates that
only the inner coil will heat. The symbol shown in Figure 4
indicates that both inner and outer coils will heat. You may
switch from either coil setting at any time during cooking.
To Operate the Dual Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the dual surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See
Fig. 2) for smaller cookware or clockwise (See Fig. 5) for
larger cookware.
3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired
setting. Turn (do not push) the knob to adjust the setting if
needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting
and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each
surface element provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending
beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too small for the surface heating area.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware. Note: The
HE message will appear after turning the control knob to
OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on until the
radiant heating surface area has cooled sufficiently. Note:
See page 8, Figure 5 for recommended control settings.
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.

To Operate the Bridge Surface Element:
1. Place correctly sized cookware on the Bridge surface
element.
2. Push in and turn the control knob counterclockwise (See
Figs. 1 and 2) to heat the portion of the Bridge element for
normal shaped cookware or clockwise (See Figs. 3 and 4)
for larger orrectangular shaped cookware.
3. Use the ESEC digital display window for the desired
setting. Turn (do not push) the knob to adjust the setting if
needed. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting
and then turn to a lower setting to finish cooking. Each
surface element provides a constant amount of heat at
each setting. A glowing red surface heating area extending
beyond the bottom edge of the cookware indicates the
cookware is too small. Please note that not all cookware
will fit the Bridge element correctly.
4. When cooking has completed, turn the surface control
knob to OFF before removing the cookware. The HE
message will appear in the display after turning the control
knob to OFF if the cooktop is still hot and will remain on
until the radiant heating surface area has cooled
sufficiently.
The BRIDGE element may also be used in combination with
the left rear single element. Because these elements have 2
different controls, one element can be used to cook while the
other element may be used to keep food warm (See Fig. 5).
Radiant surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The glass surface may
still be hot and burns may occur if the glass surface is
touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Surface Cooking
Using Proper
Cookware
Cookware should have
flat bottoms that make
good contact with the
entire surface heating
element. Check for
flatness by rotating a
ruler across the bottom
of the cookware (See
Fig. 6).

Operating the Warming Zone
The purpose of the Warming Zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Use the Warming Zone to keep
cooked foods hot such as; vegetables, gravies, casseroles, soups, stews, breads, pastries and oven-safe dinner plates.
Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the Warming Zone.
1) II_
@ @
Q £
Figure 1
A
All food placed on the Warming Zone should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil to
maintain quality. For best results, when warming pastries or breads, the cover should have
an opening to allow moisture to escape. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic
may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to clean. Use only plates, utensils and
cookware recommended for oven and cooktop use on the Warming Zone.
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the Warming
Zone as cookware and plates will be hot.
To Set theWarming Zone Control:
1. To set the control, push in and turn the knob. The On indicator light will come on (See
Fig. 1 and 2). The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by HI, MED and
LO. However, the control can be set at any position between HI and LO for different
levels of heating (Fig. 1).
2. When done, turn the control to OFF. The Warming Zone Hot surface indicator light
will remain on until the Warming Zone cools to a moderate level (See Fig. 1 and 2).
Temperature Selection
Refer to the table for recommended Warming Zone food settings (Fig. 3). If a particular food
is not listed, start with the medium level, and adjust as needed. Most foods can be kept at
serving temperatures by using the medium level.
The Warming Zone will not glow red when it is hot, but becomes hot enough
to cause burns. Avoid placing hands on or near the Warming Zone until the Warming Zone
Hot surface indicator light is off.

Arranging the Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when the oven is hot.
Oven Vent Location
The oven vent is located below the
backguard. When the oven is on, hot
air is released through the vents. This
venting isnecessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking
results.

Removing and Replacing Oven
Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until
it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide
out. To replace, fit the rack onto the
guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front
of the rack upward and slide the rack
back into place.
Arranging Oven Racks
To bake on a single rack, place the
rack in position 3 or 4. To bake on 2
racks, place the racks in positions 2
and 4. To bake on 3 racks, place the
racks in positions 1,3 and 5. Use the
6th rack position (Roasting Shelf) for
roasting large food items only.

Air Circulation in the Oven
If using 1 rack, place in center of oven. If using multiple
racks, stagger cookware as shown.
For best air circulation and baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm)
around the cookware for proper air circulation and be sure
pans and cookware do not touch each other, the oven door,
sides or back of the oven cavity. The hot air must circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to
reach around the food.

Arranging Warming Drawer Rack Positions
The rack can be used in 2 ways:
In the upright position to allow low profile food items to be placed both under and on top of the rack (for example,
rolls or biscuits on top of the rack and a casserole dish underneath).
In the downward position to allow you to place light weight food items and empty cookware (for example, rolls or
pastries and dinner plates) on the rack.
Set the Warming Drawer rack in either position as shown below (Fig. 1).

To Operate the Warming Drawer
The purpose of the Warming Drawer isto keep hot cooked foods at serving
temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold
food inthe Warming Drawer.
All food placed inthe Warming Drawer should be covered with a lid or
aluminum foil to maintain quality. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food.
Plastic may melt onto the drawer and be very difficult to clean. Use only
utensils and cookware recommended for oven use inthe Warming Drawer.
To Set theWarming Drawer Control:
The control is used to select the temperature of the Warming Drawer. It is
located on the control panel. To set the control, push in and turn the knob to
the desired setting. The temperatures are approximate, and are designated by
HI (high), MED (medium) and LO (low).
1. Turn the knob to select the desired temperature setting.
2. For best results, preheat the drawer before adding food. An empty drawer
will preheat in approximately 15 minutes.
3. When done, turn the control to OFF.
Warming DrawerTemperature Selection
Recommended Warming Drawer food settings are shown in Figure 3. Ifa
particular food is not listed, start with the MED setting. If more crispness is
desired, remove the lid or aluminum foil from the food. Most foods can be kept
at serving temperatures on the MED setting. When a combination of foods are
to be kept warm (for example, a meat with 2 vegetables and rolls) use the HI
setting. To avoid heat loss, do not open the Warming Drawer while in use.
Warming Drawer Indicator Light
The Warming Drawer indicator light is located above the Warming Drawer
control knob (See Fig. 2). It turns on when the control is set, and stays on until
the control is turned off. The warmer drawer will not operate during the self-
clean cycle.
